For tremolo I am trying to hear the downbeat and then four even semiquavers but with a clear accent on the first of the four semis, this is to help improve my attack and control of tremolo
Hmm, most of my students actually have a problem with being too heavy or accenting always that first i finger. I try to teach tremolo now a days like iamiP, iamiP, where its is like 1e&ah 2, 3e&ah4, etc depending on the number of bass notes. So the space is a full beat before the next tremolo. It makes a very even and smooth sounding tremolo, then I have the student close the gap between beats 2 and 3 until the are back to back with no break, but not speeding up the iami part. That is always the same speed.
Anyway, I remembered another 5 tuplet exercise from my youth, which again does not sound like what you want, but I will give it to you anyway.

A harmonic minor, you can work all the way down to the 6th and back up if you want trying to keep it even 5's. Ideally you would alternate mimim on the first string, then imimi on the other strings. But of course if you get it going fast you can do a slur here or there when you jump. This is from Paul Gilbert who would play this type of thing at around 140 bpm!
